Founder of Tech2Tech (T2T) International, a non-profit organisation, Anita Lowenstein Dent has stated that her outfit is training volunteers in the Northern Region to teach in various primary schools in the Region.
According to her, it is the mission of the organisation to help the children in primary schools to get access to excellent and quality education.
“Tech2Teach trains very talented but unemployed young people living in the Northern Region and offers them excellent, quality education to become volunteer teachers in schools which are underserved and have the lack of teachers,” she said.
“The volunteer teachers will provide excellent basic education and raise the aspirations and prospects of the children in their local primary schools.”
T2T believes that education is the most effective way to escape poverty and every young person deserves quality training opportunities.
Anita Lowenstein Dent noted that success for T2T includes getting core host of young people who have excellent, quality training and that training is a way for young people to become fully qualified teachers.
“Success looks like a generation of young students who have been through primary and have a fantastic excellent education in the schools in their own languages where they live, and success in terms of the educational system is more teachers introduced to schools not only in the Northern Region but Nationwide.”
Teach2Teach (T2T) Community Volunteer Teacher Programme (CVTP) transforms an existing training and pedagogical methodology proven to have worked for over 20 years, jointly designed together with their regional partners such as School for Life Ghana (SfL).
T2T has created a scalable, high impact new model with a huge multiplier effect. It has employed young people, particularly women and supported them to gain professional in-service training and a foothold in training while enhancing the classroom experience and academic outcomes of their students.
The CVTP is the flagship programme of Teach 2 Teach International which is being piloted in the Northern Regional capital, Tamale. The training programme provides quality professional training to talented and motivated young people who want to develop professional skills and help their community.
